CityFi is in the business of urban change management.

We facilitate and help create positive, sustainable change for people and for the economy, fast. We equip leaders with the understanding of new business models and cutting edge solutions, and the policy frameworks and approaches that cities can use to leverage current and new technology.

What We Believe

Great business practices and prudent policymaking matched with the appropriate technology can deliver first-rate results and positive outcomes. But technology is a means, not an end.

Effective public-private partnerships are relationships built on clear lines of communication, common goals, aligned incentives and outcomes. A long-term, triple bottom line strategy – people, planet, profit – leads to higher returns and a more sustainable financial future.

What We Do

We help city leaders, citizens and stakeholders to understand the complexity of 21st century challenges, facilitate people-centric solutions, utilize new models for delivery and technology-based tools to deliver triple-bottom line results.

In the process, we help government and companies to separate the techno-optimist hype from the real game changers that are often analog in nature.
